Train Lighting Simulator

This project is developed as part of the OAMK DIN22SP group for the company Teknoware based in Oulu, Finland. The project aims to simulate industrial communication protocols (e.g., CIP, TRDP) for controlling lighting systems in trains.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to develop a web-based simulator that helps in testing and simulating the lighting control scenarios in trains. It emulates communication between the Central Train Computer (CTC) and Remote Device (RD) through different industrial protocols, allowing operators to control and monitor train lighting systems.

Features

• Protocol Simulator: Simulates communication between the CTC and RD using different protocols (CIP, TRDP).
• Dynamic UI: The UI changes based on the protocol selected by the user.
• Lighting Control: The system allows users to simulate lighting control commands for different areas (e.g., first-class, second-class).
• Backend Communication: The backend processes protocol-specific commands and sends simulated responses to the frontend.
